The Aeronautics Committee advises the NASA Administrator through the
NASA Advisory Council on strategic plans, programs, policies and other
matters pertinent to the Agency's responsibilities for aeronautics
research and development. Its advice spans basic research and
technology applicable to all areas of aviation that are under the
purview of the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. These areas
include but are not limited to commercial air transportation, advanced
air vehicles, aviation safety, and air transportation system technology
research, development, and demonstration.
The Aeronautics Committee meets four times a year, usually in advance of
the quarterly meeting of the full NASA Advisory Council. Meetings are
open to the public and are announced on this website, as well as in the
Federal Register. The Committee's members are appointed by the NASA
Administrator and represent a balance of broad technical and customer
expertise with members from industry, academia, and professional
organizations. Committee members are appointed for two years.
